Ben is wonderful. He is 4 ½ years-old, sweet and very funny. He wants my attention always. We have a snack and read a picture book. Lately he is interested in the Greek myths. Medusa, the 12 labors of Hercules. It is easy to be fascinated with these stories. To get a moment to myself I have a secret weapon so I don’t end up looking like Medusa: The Beauty Masque. I choose Weleda’s Almond Facial Masque because it is soothing for sensitive skin. My skin is blotchy and sometimes dry. The masque is a beautiful saffron yellow color because of the carrot extract in it. The carotene in...

It happens each year, about the time fall turns into winter: My hands start to feel like sandpaper, painful hangnails seem to come out of nowhere and my once healthy nails turn a brittle and frail! Does this happen to you, too? Patricia Pol, esthetician at the Weleda Spa in Palisades, NY, says that everyone’s hands take a beating when the humidity falls, the air turns cold and the wind starts a howling. “The skin on our hands is thin and often exposed to the elements.

Summer is finally here and our chamomile flowers are in full bloom! Chamomile flowers are little, but they are special in a big way. You might know this flower best for its ability to be dried and made into delicious, calming tea, but here at Weleda it is known more as one of the amazing ingredients in our skin care and medicines. Also known as German Chamomile or Wild Chamomile, this annual herb blooms small white flowers. I think they look just like daisies. The best time to spot them is between May and August. They grow prolific throughout Europe and northern Asia. Chamomile is very fine and must be harvested by hand, then cleaned of soil and...

I purchased this cold cream as I get severe dry skin in the winter. No 'moisturizing oil, lotion, or cleanser' was potent enough to help my dry skin. Until I found this!!! Seriously tried all natural products/ brands under the sun- including josie maran, tarte, glamglow, first aid beauty, boscia, julique, nude. Literally you name it- I've tried it. This is the best thing you can apply for dry winter skin- I even use it for my hands. Thanks for making a product that does what it claims! I can now stop shopping around for a cure.

I am not and do not have a baby, lol but I do have sensitive skin! I saw it in whole foods and it was fragrance free and made for sensitive skin so I picked it up! I love it! It doesn't break me out yet it is hydrating and feels amazing on skin. I wake up and my skin feels so soft but not oily. Also the purple packaging is really pretty! This is only 14$ where I live and a tube lasts me like 3 months! I would totally reccomend it. I have skin that is prone to small breakouts but nothing major. I also love the refining toner btw!
